Theigenuine free-trader appears I'M
able to see or comprehend that this
continental trade-not our exchanges

our prosperity. President Cleveland
now plainly proposes policy that
will; admit Europe to a share of this
trade.
The presidents message will bring
the country where it ought to be
brought-to a full and fair contest
on the question of protection. The
president himself makes it the one is

In Opposition.

There are unmistakable signs that
the republican party il showing won
derful vitality a. an opposition par
". This was not only indicated bv
the congressional elections last wear.
by which the democratic majority in
the house of representatives was re-
duced from 20 TO -, but it has been
indicated this year in nearly all the
elections held from Maine TO CalifOr-
MIA. There is no loss of republican
states, no tagging in the republican
host. Party distractions and faction
al lines have disappeared. Not only
have the ranks solidifed but there Is
an enthusiasm pervading the party
that has not appeared so strikingly
for years.
Nor Is it mere enthusiasm. Ear
nest purposes underlie it. As the re-
publican party in the majority was
the best party that the country ever
had. This does not consist alone in
keeping vigiIant watch of the demo
cratic party, and especially Of the
democratic administration. That Is
necessary and useful. But a higher
work remains. That work Is the
suggestion and formulation of meas
ures for the further advancement Of
the country and Of the people. A
period when no one issue Oyertops
all others is just the period for pIac-
teal legislation and the practical
statesman Il may not be a time
when men shine. but Is a time when
their talents may be employed to
great uses.
The republicans in congress have
waited three years for the admins
tration 10 present some policy. The
best il can do now is 70 attack the
tariff, running the risk Of apsettipg
business and precipitating a panic
The republicans propose 10 oppose
the scheme, while at the same time
furnishing relief in other aud better
directions. The sugar and tobacco
taxes should 90 before the home mar

publican party in opposition proPos-
es 10 insist on these things, or COM
Dei a change Of places with the party

The Fisheries Commission has 7

The Fisheries Commission has fail
ed to agree and has adjourned to the
first week in January, in order to give
the home government time t. EXERT
influence upon Canada to moders,te
her demand.
She insists that for the privilege
of fishing off her shores and buying
supplies in her harbors, we shall adj
nit duty free her dried fish, lumber,
and other products-in short, that
1 there shall be substantial revival
of the reciprocity treaty of 1854.
Our country will not concede his
and asks no privilege except the
ordinary commercial privilege that
other friendly nations have in her
harboTs.
1t appears that Minister Phelps
had taken precisely the same ground
that the representatives of our coan-
try in this commission have taken,
and ex-Gov. Dingley of Maine, who
appeared for the fishing interest, saws
that Canada is acting the part of
ShVlock. The affair may end in ar
bitration if an independent board can
be agreed upon.
When Senator Edmunds stood at
the bar of the United States Senate
on Monday last, to take the oath of
office, he did so for the sixth time.
He took it first on the 18th of March.
1866, when he held the office bv the
appointment OF. Gov. Dillingham; He
took it next on the 18th of March,
1867, having been elected by the leg
islature to fill out the unexpired term
of Senator Foot He took it again
after each of his four successive elec-
tions to the full term. BY the way,
the remark printed in the New \ FORK
Tribune, the other day, that Mr.. Ed
munds was not a United States sena-
tor because he had not been sworn in
since his last election, was not quite
correct. A man begins to be a Unit
ed States senator from the day of the
commencement of his term and is en-
titled to draw his pay as such. Mr..
Edmunds' present term commenced
on the 4th of March last; and there
has been no intermissiOn in his ten
ure of the office for the last twenty

Senator Edmunds answers a host
of free-trade sophistries, including
the crude re-hash of stale theories in
President Cleveland's message, when
he says: "You remember that the
tax on tea and coffee was taken off
some years ago, and what was the
result? The income from these prod
ucts was withdrawn from the treasu-
~, but the prices Of tea and coffee
remained as high asever. The i'm
porters made the extra profit, and we
lost the taxes" The notion that the
removal of the tariff duties inevita-
bly, results in gain to the consumer is
one of the most glaring of hoary-
headed free-trade fallacies. 1t has
been exposed again and again, and it
IS simply astounding that the chief
magistrate of this great nation should
re- assert it without qualification.
Senator Morrill, on Monday intro
duced bill to regulate immigration,
requiring American consuls on appli-
cation to inquire about and certify to
the moral character and ability to
earn support of intending immigrants.
1t levies a duty of 81 head on for
eigners not having a certificate, and
requires a transportation under pen
atty to return immigrants not found
to be fit to become citizens. For
eigners coming temporarily for pleas
ure or business are exempt from the
provisions of the act. There ought
to be general acquiescence in a meas
ure of this scope.
